About canceling managed accounts

If you need to cancel any of your managed accounts, you can do so right from the Management page of your manager account. You can always cancel a managed account by navigating to that account and following the usual steps for cancellation. But canceling from the Management page of your manager account may be more efficient, especially if you need to cancel multiple accounts at once.

This article explains how canceling managed accounts works, and shows you how to do so from your manager account.

Viewing canceled accounts

After you cancel accounts, you can always have these canceled accounts show in the table of your “Management” page by clicking the 3-dot icon in the navigation panel, and selecting Show canceled. The canceled accounts will appear with a red x next to the account name to indicate their canceled status.

You can navigate to a canceled account like any other active account, by clicking the name of the canceled account in the “Accounts” column. Keep in mind that individual users with access to the canceled account will also always be able to access their canceled accounts, as usual. In the account, an alert at the top will show that the account is canceled.

Reactivating canceled accounts

As with individual AdWords accounts, you, or users with access to the account, will be able to reactivate the canceled accounts at any time. However, you won’t be able to reactivate canceled accounts from the Management page.

To reactivate a canceled account, navigate to the canceled account. The alert at the top of canceled accounts will show a link you can click to reactivate the account. Alternatively, you can always reactivate by following the usual steps for reactivating individual accounts.

How to cancel accounts from your Management page

Keep in mind, you’ll need to have administrative access to your manager account in order to cancel accounts.
